Next thing Ben heard different voices.
"He's just a boy! How did a boy get to Las Noches, let alone Hueco Mundo." Two different things said right after another.
"He looks weak," said another voice. "I know Dordonii is nothing more than a Privaron Espada but I didn't think he was weak enough to get beaten by a kid."
"Appearances aren't everything, Nnoitra. You of all people should know that."
"Be quiet, Szayel or I'll…"
"That's enough, Nnoitra."
This last voice sounded soft and kind, but there was something hidden in the tone that made you frozen with fear.
"I believe our guest has regained consciousness now," the voice said. "You can get up now."
Personally, Ban Ben thought it would be safer if he just played dead. But he had no idea who he was up against and didn't want to find out what they'd do if he didn't listen. So, Ben slowly got to his feet, his vision slowly returning to him.
"Tell me, boy," the voice said. "What is your name?"
"Ben Tennyson," Ben said automatically. He mentally cringed. In the movies, the hero doesn't give the villains his identity easily, but since he himself was a villain, what he can do.
"Well, Ben Tennyson. Welcome to Las Noches."
Ben could see now that he was in some kind of dimly lit, but extremely massive room.
"Where am I?" Ben asked aloud.
"You are in my throne room, Ben Tennyson."
Ben turned around. In front of him was a large table with ten different people sitting at it. Each one looking at Ben as if sizing him up. They were all wearing white clothing of various nature and Ben could see swords at some of their sides. Ben's hand automatically reached for the Ultimatrix. These people were probably the Espada that Dordonii mentioned.
"Ah," said a new, mocking voice. "No need to get hostile. We're all friends here."
Ben looked at the end of the table to see a man sitting there. He had brown hair that was mostly slicked back except for a single strand. On either side of the man were two different people. One appearead African American with some kind of visor like object covering his eyes. The second man had silverish hair, a creepy smile, and eyes that were in slits so narrow that he couldn't see if the guy's eyes were closed.
"Hiya, Ben," the silver haired man said. "How are ya?"
Ben didn't say anything. Mainly because he didn't know what to say.
"So tell me, Ben Tennyson," the brown haired man said. "What brings you to Hueco Mundo?"
Ben decided to go with honesty, he didn't want to get in trouble, his own life was full of enjoyment.
"To be honest, I don't know." He admitted. "I was just going to the bathroom. Suddenly this hole opens up and the next thing I knew, I found myself here."
"Really?" the man asked with interest and amusement. "How unfortunate."
"Aizen-sama," said the man. This one had long black hair, an eye-patch, and a creepy smile that practically screamed danger.
"Yes, Nnoitra," Aizen asked him.
"Are you going to kill him?" the one called Nnoitra asked.
Ben's eyes widened. Where the talk was going, why did the topic of killing suddenly come up.
"Aizen-sama," said a spectacled man with pinkish hair. "If you have no use for him, I would gladly use him for my experiments. I'm sure I could turn this human into something useful."
"I wanna know how a kid got all the way into Las Noches," said a massive, muscular man with some sort of jawbone attached to his lower one. "And how the heck this guy managed to beat Dordonii."
"Yes," Aizen nodded. "I am curious as to how young Ben Tennyson managed to do so. Would you mind sharing with us, Ben?"
Ben now looked towards them, he was cautious, but he also started becoming angry. How did that's stupid beings were joking about his life.
"If you want, Aizen-sama, I can make this kid tell us."
"Go ahead, Yammy," Aizen said. "But try to not kill him."
"Heh," the one called Yammy sneered. "That looks like it shouldn't be a problem." He began walking towards Ben.
"That's enough, now I am gonna beat you," Ben shouted in anger, before slamming down on the dial.
"Bad Humungousaur!" he roared.
Well that got the attention of everybody in the room. They just saw a human boy turn into some kind of dinosaur as big as Yammy.
"What the…" was all Yammy could get out as Humungousaur crashed his fist into Yammy's face. The blow was enough to knock Yammy off his feet and sent him slamming on the table. The others merely watched as Yammy got back up to his feet, extremely mad.
"That does it, kid!" He raised his fist as if to punch Humungousaur. Suddenly a sort of red light formed around his fist. He then punched the air, but the red ball that had formed around his fist shot out as a ball of some kind of energy and slammed into Humungousaur. Humungousaur groaned in pain as it hit him.
"You ticked me off, kid." Yammy said. "Now I'm gonna pound you within an inch of your life."
He began bombarding Humungousaur with this strange fist attacks. Humungousaur couldn't even get close enough to lay a blow. He knew that he needed some fire power.
"Time to go Ultimate!" he yelled. Twisting the Ultimatrix dial, he slammed it again. This time, his body became wider, green and more like an Ankylousaurus.
"Ultimate Bad Humungousaur!" he yelled. He took advantage of Yammy's stupefied look to turn his hands into missile launchers and began blasting Yammy. The blasts didn't really do significant damage to him, but they were hitting his head and face, so he couldn't really do much. Humungousaur saw his chance and charged forward. By the time Yammy could see anything, Ultimate Humungousaur slammed both of his fists into Yammy's gut. The blow sent him crashing back into the table.
Yammy got back up angrily. Snarling, he was about to pull his sword out when…
"That's enough, Yammy." Aizen said.
Yammy and Ben both looked at Aizen, who continued to have that smile on his face.
"I see now that young Ben is more than capable of defending himself." He said. Then he turned to look at Ben. "That is quite a unique power you have, Ben. I am impressed. You may change back now."
Ultimate Humungousaur didn't budge.
"Aizen-sama gave you an order!" Yammy yelled.
"It's okay, Yammy," Aizen said while sipping from a cup of tea. "Due to our reception, it is understandable for Ben to be cautious. Tell me, Ben. Am I correct in assuming that your 'Bad Humungousaur' as you called it, is not the only thing you can turn into?"
Ultimate Humungousaur's eyes widened in surprise.
"You defeated both Runuganga and Dordonii," Aizen explained. "That form alone could not have defeated them. And am I correct in assuming that your power comes from that device that was on your human wrist?"
Ultimate Humungousaur snarled.
"You truly are unique, Ben Tennyson. I have never seen a power like yours. I believe you could have a use for you."
"What?" the one called Nnoitra yelled. "You want this worthless human to join us?"
"Worthless?" Aizen asked with a smile. "I think not. Young Ben could truly be helpful."
"Look," Ultimate Humungousaur said. "I appreciate the offer but I just wanna get home."
Ultimate Humungousaur tensed when he noticed that some of the Espada, namely Nnoitra and some blue haired guy, were snickering at this. Aizen, however, was focused on Ben.
"I have something I need help with, Ben," Aizen said. "If you help me, I can return you to your home."
Ben turned back to normal. But he was still uneasy. Aizen looked friendly enough, but he had allowed that Yammy guy to try and beat him up.
Did Aizen know that he could take care of himself? Either way, Ben wanted to go home and he also wanted to see what this Aizen guy wanted to do. He also didn't want to fight alone with all of these, after all he was not that stupid Ben Tennyson, he was Bad Ben Tennyson. He was cautious, clever, and most of all he was bad, very very bad.
For now, he just wants to understand the things here. And when he got his chance, not even Aizen and his Espada would be able to defeat him.
"Alright," he said. "I'll help you."
Aizen smiled what seemed to be a genuine friendly smile.
"Wonderful. Welcome to Hueco Mundo, Ben Tennyson."
